I enjoyed a nice day in Corvallis starting with a round of golf at Corvallis Country Club, a little tailgating, and a good ballgame. However, I don't think I have ever been so wet. It rained on our golf game and then pretty much non stop at the game.

I saw the attendance at the game was 3,300. I guess it was one of the top ten attendance records of all time at Goss. It sure didn't seem like that many, looked like about 2,000 to me. Lots of empty seats.

I decided to stay home today and catch the game on TV. Just tired of driving and getting wet. I hate it when ESPN shows the games as my Internet provider won't allow me to stream ESPN games.

F, I was thinking about you yesterday. One of my buddies brought St. Pauli Girl to our pre-game activities.BTW, it goes really good with BBQ Ribs.

Territorial Cup

The Sun Devils (23-16, 12-8) shut out the Wildcats in Tucson for the first time since May 11, 1972.

ASU took a 9.5-6.5 lead in the overall Territorial Cup standings as head coach Tim Esmay tallied his 14th win over Arizona and the program improved to 10-5 in series’ against the Wildcats in the past 15 years. ASU is a point away from winning the head-to-head competition with four sports still undecided.

ASU moved to 215-240 all-time against Arizona, including 192-124 since 1959…the ASU pitching staff has turned in nine consecutive quality starts…ASU is 10-2 this season when they do not commit an error.

DM, I can't agree more. I've seen the color guy's name in one of the baseball boards as a contributor- not sure which one.

BTW, the ESPN color guy is FAR FAR better than the Pac-12 guys they have used for the Beaver games I've seen online so far this year. He sounds like he's from the South, but he knows the Beaver players, mentioned Keyes's hitting abilities and the fact that he played at OSU as a high school senior, and has not once mentioned anything about the players' hair or his time at Miami and how this would have been a 10-9 game in after two innings, blah-blah-blah about nothing related to the Ducks or Beavers or college baseball in the last ten years.

I thought the announcers had good point regarding the number of players on OSU's roster from the Nortwhest - 20 or so compared to those on Oregon's Roster which are primarily from California regarding the ability to play in cold and rainy weather. At times during the last several days, it just looks like the Ducks don't want to be on the field.

Hey RD, I don't know that I have ever seen the Ducks so out of synch. I was really expecting a 2-1 Beaver series win, but wouldn't have been surprised to see a 2-1 Duck's series win. DM and FB might be spot on with their sweep prediction. If the Beavers go on to sweep, do you think this will derail the Ducks and send them on a even bigger losing streak?edited by BeaverBob on 4/27/2014

?? Sounds similar. When I heard his name at the beginning of the game, I thought I had seen it on Aaron Fitt's board. BTWs, I saw Aaron Fitt last night at the game. He had just got done interviewing Pat Baily. I got a chance to say hello and ask him what he thought so far. He started to share his thoughts about the Beavers and then his phone rang and he had to run up to the press box.

Clay Berno? or something like that. Played for the Georgia Bulldogs in the 90s.

My sincerest apologies FB. I've gone back and revised my original post as I have the utmost respect for the Beavers that make their home in Florida. While the Oregon Beaver can be cold and damp, the Florida Beaver is warm and shiny.

Hey......I predicted a sweep too. Man, I'm feeling slighted now. Must be the long distance thing for my florida beaver.

Great choice. I have always liked Mike Fox. As I recall, I think they made three straight trips to the CWS finals, maybe four. He seems like a class act. I attended the 2006 CWS finals at Rosenblatt Stadium. While the city and fans were definitely rooting for the Beavers, there was lots of praise for Fox and his team.

Beavers swept the Bulldogs in Athens in 2007 and took two of three the next year at PGE Park. Beavers also beat Georgia in Omaha in 2006 and once more in 2011 at a neutral site. (That one I don't remember.) Those are all of the games OSU has played Georgia (7-1 all time), and all against Dave Perno. Yeah, he knows Oregon State. :p

Maybe we should get Mike Fox to do color for the next Civil War series.

I can't agree more FB. Unless the Beavs just have a meltown, I they they are a lock as a Regional Host and real close as a Super Regional Host. I'm already looking forward to ordering post season tickets. Unfortunately, I'll be out of town and down in St George for a golf trip, so won't be able to catch the Supers, but will catch all Regional games.

Oregon State just made a statement for national seeding. Started off the weekend at, what 23?, and were up to 16 this morning. I'd say they may climb up to 12 or or 13 after today's sweep.

MB, how are your Canes looking regarding post season? I'm assuming you are living in the Florida area. What are your thoughts on the Florida teams. Which has the best chance to head to the CWS.

Good sweep, Beavs. And like I said earlier in this thread, OSU was the one with real national seed hopes. Warren Nolan's site has them up to #10. The next two series won't do the RPI any favors, but finishing on top of the Pac-12 locks it up, IMO.
